    Why is Bo Derek now "Bo" while her birth name is Mary? I get the "Derek" part, but where did the "Bo" come from?

    Question #59253. Asked by an alias. (Sep 08 05 2:06 PM)

    		Apparently even Bo has no idea

    5. What made you change your name from Mary Cathleen - with the nickname Cathy - to Bo?

    Derek: I was 17, living in Europe and I just wanted something more grown-up, I guess, than Cathy. ... I tried many, many names and I really don't know where Bo came from. But it is unusual and I liked it right away. And I never had a problem adjusting to it.

    		What, grown up like the careless shepherdess of nursery rhyme fame?
    No wonder I found Bo Diddley on this. I was starting to think it was short for Bolero.
